Thanatos (Don't Come) v2

(Verse 1) When he was younger, a choice was made To love a mortal twice his age All the honey years provided An infinite sense of patience But as the years piled upon The shoulders of the younger one Wisdom sprung like the river Lethe Eroding all their memories (Chorus 1) Don't come to him without your mother Don't come for him without your brother's hand He's just a man, he's just a man A goblet filled with a life's worth of dread (Verse 2) A little older, his walls stood strong Barricading out the ones he loves Afraid to ruin the picture in his head Of how he chooses to remember them He saw his mother from the tower Sinking deeper into her final hours Like flags into the Underworld Her withering bones and fear unfurled (Chorus 2) Don't come to her without your mother Don't come for her without your brother's hand This is the end, this is the end She doesn't expect Elysium (Instrumental) (Bridge) It's not the stories that he hears It's not the cycle that he fears It's the life that drains from these mortal eyes As we bathe in regrets and sacrifice And should he wish to spare himself The pain of knowing midnight's tale He'd consider taking his own life To see you soon and drink in aphotic light (Chorus 3) Don't come to me without your mother Don't come for me without your brother's hand I'm just a man, I'm just a man I don't want to see how this story ends
